With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Linz, 35 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be TipsArena, Casino Linz and Ars Electronica Center. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Krems an der Donau, 35 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Gottweig Abbey. (But we’d also highly recommend Beethovenhaus Gneixendorf and Karikaturmuseum.)
